Potpie deeply understands your codebase by breaking down your code into its constituting parts and building a knowledge graph out of your code’s components. We generate inferences at every level of your codebase so that we can comprehensively answer questions about your codebase.
Potpie also provides purpose built agents that are expert on your codebase to perform engineering tasks for you, and also provides the platform for you to build your own custom agents using tools that interface with the knowledge graph.

Potpie offers a suite of specialized agents that empower developers by automating and optimizing key aspects of software development:
- Debugging Agent: Automatically analyzes stacktraces and provides debugging steps specific to your codebase.
- Codebase Q&A Agent: Answers questions about your codebase and explains functions, features, and architecture.
- Code Changes Agent: Analyzes code changes, identifies affected APIs, and suggests improvements before merging.
- Integration Test Agent: Generates integration test plans and code for flows to ensure components work together properly.
- Unit Test Agent: Automatically creates unit test plan and code for individual functions to enhance test coverage.
- LLD Agent: Creates a low level design for implementing a new feature by providing functional requirements to this agent.
Potpie's agents work by leveraging tools that interact with the knowledge graph. The knowledge graph is a meticulously constructed graph of the codebase tracking relationships between functions, files, classes of the codebase, stored in neo4j. We generate inferences for each node and embed and store it in the graph to perform similarity search for the user query. Other tools look up project structure, fetch code from github, fetch code flow from graph etc
Potpie provides a set of tools that agents can use to interact with the knowledge graph and the underlying infrastructure. These tools are vital for creating custom agents and for performing highly contextual tasks with precision.
- get_code_from_probable_node_name: Retrieves code snippets based on a probable node name.
- get_code_from_node_id: Fetches code associated with a specific node ID.
- get_code_from_multiple_node_ids: Retrieves code snippets for multiple node IDs simultaneously.
- ask_knowledge_graph_queries: Executes vector similarity searches to obtain relevant information from the knowledge graph.
- get_nodes_from_tags: Retrieves nodes tagged with specific keywords from the knowledge graph.
- get_code_graph_from_node_id/name: Fetches code graph structures for a specific node ID or name.
- change_detection: Detects changes in the current branch compared to the default branch.
These tools are the foundation for the custom agents you create, allowing them to intelligently access and manipulate your codebase efficiently.
Potpie doesn’t stop at pre-built agents. With Custom Agents, developers can design personalized tools that handle repeatable tasks with precision. Whether it's generating boilerplate code, identifying security vulnerabilities, or suggesting optimizations, Potpie’s custom agents are flexible and built to adapt to your unique project requirements.
Potpie’s cloud platform supports Custom Agents, enabling you to create agents that automate specific, repeatable tasks tailored to your project's unique requirements.
- System Instructions: Guidelines that define the agent's task, its goal, and the expected output.
- Agent Information: Metadata such as the agent’s role, goal, and task context.
- Tasks: The individual steps the agent will take to complete its job.
- Tools: Functions that allow the agent to perform its tasks, such as querying the knowledge graph or retrieving code snippets.
- Automating code optimization and offering improvement suggestions.
- Identifying and reporting security vulnerabilities in the codebase.
- Automatically generating unit tests based on existing code logic.
Refer to the Getting Started Guide for detailed instructions on setting up Potpie and making your first agent work for you!
Potpie is designed to be flexible and customizable. Here are key areas to personalize your own deployment:
Modify the system prompts to align with your organization's tone and terminology.
Edit Prompt Text: In app/modules/intelligence/prompts/system_prompt_setup.py, update the system_prompts lists to change the text for each agent.
Add New Agents: Create new agents by referring existing agents in the app/modules/intelligence/agents/chat_agents and app/modules/intelligence/agents/agentic_tools directory.
Adjust existing agent behaviors to suit your operational needs.
Modify Guidelines: Change the guidelines within each agent's prompt to emphasize specific aspects of your codebase. You can do this by editing the prompts in the crewai agents in the app/modules/intelligence/agents directory.
Customize which tools are available to each agent based on your requirements.
Edit existing tools: Edit tools for your usecase by refactoring the existing tools in the app/modules/intelligence/tools directory.
Add New Tools: Add new tools by referring existing tools in the app/modules/intelligence/tools directory.
By customizing system prompts, agent behaviors, and tool integrations you can tailor Potpie to effectively meet your organization's unique needs and enhance your software development processes.
